For people with HIV/AIDS who also fight with addiction, their prior chronic medical condition is something that will need to be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug addiction. Getting this client in treatment is not only imperative for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they are likely to spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol issue continue.
In many cases, clients who struggle with both issues concurrently have let their bodies deteriorate due to the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medicine, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they get addiction treatment. Aside from treatment for their drug or alcohol problem, in a rehab center which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will get a medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, other sexually transmitted diseases, dental issues, diabetes and mental health disorders.
Substance abuse rehabilitation for persons with HIV/AIDS in East Falmouth would include detoxification treatment which are responsibly handled with both the patient and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other people have the same goal is strongly recommended.
